oh ho

Outside the rain continued to fall and the thunder spoke to the lightning. Chimera was comfortable as ever watching the downpour rage on around them. Rain was comforting. It made him mellow and sometimes tired, though right now he was wide awake. The woman beside him was an outsider and, though not a total stranger, he wouldn't put it past her to spy. Once the rain let up, he would escort her back out and they would likely never see one another again. Not unless she made an effort.

Though he didn't look away from the rain, the man's mismatched ears shifted, catching the fae's words as she spoke of the hardships that the Armada had faced. The brute gave a rumble of agreement, but said nothing aloud. Truthfully, he didn't care what happened to the Armada. He had no ties to them. His care extended to a few members of Ashen and that was about it, aside from those within his own pack.

Hanako spoke again, mentioning how Auster was empty. The behemoth chuckled, lips pulling back to flash wickedly sharp shark teeth. "Hopefully it stays that way." Pulling his attention from the rain, he looked towards the speckled woman. "We're a very self sufficient pack. We stick to ourselves and that's how I like it." They didn't run about seeking out allies. They didn't go to group gatherings or festivals or the like. They did for themselves and expected others to leave them be.
